There's a really cool book about the swinging sixties in London titled Ready Steady Go with detailed backstories on all the players in Soho and Chelsea. This is back when Terrence Stamp and Michael Caine were the to It Boys of London and pulled more birds than Gene Simmons or Wilt Chamberlain could ever imagine.

Also marked because it looks fab-- and young Terrence Stamp... le sigh

One of the women made a disgusted sound when he asked

I missed that, even with a second watching. Ah, well. I wonder if we're going to see more of them or if they've served their purpose.

and young Terrence Stamp... le sigh

I'm afraid my experience with young Terrence Stamp is solely as Billy Budd, which means less le sigh and more zzzzzzzz thanks to Melville's ability to bring the Platonic ideal of boredom forth into the real world.

That's not the point! If you haven't read the book, you don't know! Principle!

Vortex, I agree! :-)

That's why I love you people. Hard to find people who give a damn about books consistently and/or know them.

And you know what's funny (in a semi-tragic sort of way)? I don't recall anyone on the amc boards even mentioning the defacing of the book.

I love this place.

It was funny reading the Jezebel blog because they found the Eurotrash nomads to be Freaky and Threatening

Oh, yeah, there is something freaky about them! I don't believe that Joy is really the "viscount"'s daughter and it totally felt like a grift was in the works to me!

I thought him ripping out the page was funny. Mostly because Joy annoyed me.

Oh, man. Did I suck at that.

I got $12,000 and then lost it all in the Final Jeopardy question. :(

Hah! I didn't make or lose quite that much (I was at $8000+ and bet 1/2 that) but that's what happened to me. And if I'd gone with my first instinct I'd have totally won!
